About the event
Create your own lino pattern motif! Join me, Karené and learn about printing pattern onto textiles with lino.
At this workshop we will discuss positive and negative shapes, tone, colour and look at some options for geometric or scattered pattern designs. Then, you will design a simple motif, which you will carve into lino (soft-cut sheets). You will use these lino blocks to print your own repeat pattern onto a set of 4 cotton napkins or a teatowel. This is a great workshop to do if you have been to the Indian block printing workshop (which gives a feel for printing pattern onto textiles), but it is not a pre-requisite, and no previous experience is necessary. If you have some design inspiration in mind, bring it along or let inspiration find you at the workshop. Often the simplest designs are the most effective!
